Summary of Test Method4.1 After homogenizing the crude oil with a

17、mixer, an aliquot sample, a test specimen of that sample is injected into the titrationvesselcell of a Karl Fischer apparatus in which iodine for the Karl Fischer reaction is generated coulometrically at the anode.

19、test method is critically dependent on the effectiveness of the homogenization step. Theefficiencyacceptability of the mixermixing used to achieve a homogeneous sample is determined by the procedure given in PracticeD5854 (API MPMS Chapter 8.3). In addition, if the test method is performed on a volu

In one procedure, a weighed aliquot of sampletest specimen is injected into the titration vesselcel

The other procedure provides for thedirect determination of the volume % of water in the crude oil by measuring the volume of crude oil injected into the titrationvessel.cell.5.
